One thing, all this talk about how good Camby is. Yes, he is good, still does his job and still has alot of value but the guy is soon to turn 35 years old and has about two or three good years left in him (I personally reckon he can keep doing what he has been the last few years for another four). It is stupid that the Clips are thinking about trading Kaman so Camby is the lone Center for them

Charlie V is not a defensive stopper but he can rebound, and he'd be cheap to resign since he was injured during the bulk of his rookie season.

They have similar Player Efficiency ratings and both can get hot on offense. he is not a great defender. we'd basically be trading defense for height, which, when you rebound as bad as we do, and when you see a guy like Belinelli do such a great job guarding Kobe, it does not seem all that bad.
Azubuike is a good player and I like him, but his game is too similar to maggs and we have WAY to many guards.

Sessions is more of a PG than watson. Watson is good but we all know how he lets his guards blow by him, and he doesn't really set anyone up as a PG should. 2.6apg on the year isn't exactly what we need.

i would die if this trade went through....as much as i like sessions and see so much potential in him, there is no way id want to give away buike and watson in a trade that involved charlie v. the guy doesnt have the heart or work ethic to be a warrior and if he did play, he would take minutes away from wright and randolph...both of whom play defense and rebound (unlike villanueva)

You're just pissed because Charlie has stepped up his game since you traded him to me (it was you, right?).

I totally agree about Charlie's D (or lack of), but his rebounding numbers are decent, at least. He rarely gets less than 10 boards when he plays 30 or more minutes (at least, that's what's been happening lately). He could do better, but that's certainly enough to not be labeled a bad rebounder.

haha..it was me, but thats not why i dont like him. his rebounding is inconsistent and is nowhere to be found on defense. i mean, at 6'10"...i guess if he isnt a leaper then i understand him not getting many blocks. but if thats the case then make up for it in other ways...even boozer averages at least a steal a game.

*side note*....as far as that trade...pietrus was working out fine for my team and fit my team well until he got injured. its all good tho...i used that spot for moon who fits my team really well.
